Research funding

The Foundation has funded a variety of research over the last several years (recent research results) and intends to continue doing so as long as the Foundations' funding allows. We are eager to receive research proposals that will study: potential medical treatment, prevention, psychological aspects of vision loss, rehabilitation techniques and technology, methods of information dissemination on Macular degeneration and resources for the visually impaired.

Proposals for the coming funding year need to be submitted in triplicate, in at least 14 point print by the end of September to the Foundations mailing address: P. O. Box 55004, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23471-5004. The board of directors will strive to review all proposals received and make decisions on which proposal will be funded by the first week in November.

Each recipient of research funds will be required to submit quarterly progress reports and unless other wise approved a final report on the research findings by September 15th following funding of the proposal. The Foundation will reserve the right to withdraw financial sponsorship if in the view of the Foundations board of directors the research is not being conducted in a professional and scholarly manner.
